Introduction

Welcome to the Shadowpay API! You can use our API to access Shadowpay API endpoints, which can get information about items, send trades, buy and sell items!

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact us: [email protected]

Authentication

Make sure to replace sometesttoken with your API token.

Shadowpay uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can get new API key at our website page.

Token expects to be included in all API requests to the server in a POST parameter, that looks like the following:

token: sometesttoken

If you use Pay by Steam Skin - use SECRET_HASH and PUBLIC_HASH (see information below)

Response Structure

You should check status of response before operating response data.

Shadowpay uses array to return data of any type of request.

Every success API call returns "status" => "success" inside of first response array.

If request failed, response will contain "status" => "error" and "error_message":"some_error" with error text.

Games Naming

Shadowpay uses project params or array key in response to determine game name.

We use "project" => "csgo" field to clarify item's game.

Name Description
csgo Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
dota2 Dota 2
games SteamCommunity Items

Pay by Steam Skins

Shadowpay offers functionality to refill balance on your website using Steam Skins.

Main flow is:

  1. User click link (button) "Pay By Steam Skin"
  2. Website generates request to and return payment link
  3. website redirects user to shadowpay payment link
  4. user install extension or application for automatic, fast, secure trading_
  5. user put decided skins on sale and wait for buyers. Extension or application sends trade, user confirms trade. Every successful sold skins your website will receive IPN with amount of money for each item, that user has sold, and you should add this amount to user's account on merchant account will receive money, for each item that user sold. Merchant can withdraw it.

To start:

  1. You should generate Public hash and Secret hash in merchant panel.
  2. IPN url for instant notifications should be saved in merchant panel.

Create payment link

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

{
    "token":"a1d579731b5fd7b7cb8f64c641f73111",
    "url":"https:\/\/shadowpay.com\/en\/pay?token=a1d579731b5fd7b7cb8f64c641f73111",
    "status":"success"
}

$params['signature'] = hash('sha256', $params['order_id'] . $params['amount'] . $params['currency'] . SECRET_HASH)

When user clicks button - server should generate this request, and receive payment link.

User should be redirected to this payment link.
